Supreme Court of New Jersey
Decided April 9, 1997PublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtO’Hern, J.
These appeals concern the liability of a surety company to pay contributions into fringe benefit plans for employees on public works projects when the employer-principal defaults on its payments to the plans. The primary issue is whether federal employee benefit law preempts provisions of the New Jersey Public Works Bond Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:44-143 to 147 (Bond Act or Act) that require contractors to post bonds for payment for labor performed on public works projects.
We discuss the facts of each case separately before proceeding to an analysis of the common issues.
